Fight the Giants

  Chapter 119 Catch enough

  When it gets dark, the fishing box at the stern of the boat at home can’t fit.

  Densely packed full of fish. The fish are so crowded that there is no space for them to swim freely. One by one scrambled to get their heads out of the water to breathe, and they even jumped up from time to time.

  Huo Xi sat beside the fishing box with Huo Nian in his arms and looked in. From time to time, a drop or two of water splashed on him, causing Huo Nian to smile. I don't feel the fishy smell of water at all, and I don't know if I'm used to it.

  A proper fisherman boy.

  Huo Xi touched his little face, feeling a little emotional. Seeing that he was healthy, there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

   "The fishing box can't fit, so don't catch it?" Yang took a knife to peel the fish and wiped salt to make dried salted fish.

  There are too many fish, and the dried fish made today are all big fish.

   "Okay, don't squeeze it into the water tank to die, you won't be able to raise the price if you resell it." Huo Erhuai and Yang Fu finally stopped and took back the fishing net.

Mrs. Yang took the white salt in the bamboo tube and rubbed it on the fish, feeling distressed as she wiped it: "Such good salt, tsk tsk, let's go get the fish salt, it's all for nothing. If you sell it, you can How much money do you make..."

   "Do you dare to sell it?" Huo Erhuai said.

   Yang choked, and looked at Huo Xi.

  Huo Xi smiled: "Mother, it's okay. After a few days, when we sell groceries, we'll mix them up and sell them in small quantities. It's okay."

  Mr. Yang became happy: "That's right, there are fishing salts with lower prices, why use such good salt to make salted fish." It's really distressing.

  As soon as Huo Xi said that he could sell the salt, he was reluctant to use the salt in his hand. Such good salt needs to be kept for sale. If you save more money, you can also buy a few more acres of land.

   When the time comes, I will get the land rent, so I will make some nice clothes for Xi'er, and send Nian'er to study.

  Mr. Yang spread the salted fish on the dustpans, placed them on the bow of the boat one by one, and put them on the top of the boat to dry.

   Made dinner quickly again, and the whole family ate it. Along the way, shrimp and crab cages were placed in dense water and grass, and then the boat was rowed back to Taoyedu.

  Taoyedu has only sparsely parked ten boats tonight. I don't know if I haven't returned to Hong Kong yet, returned to my hometown to report safety, or went to sell goods.

   "Ah, Erhuai, why did your family come back? I thought you were going back to the city."

   "Oh, Huo Xi's mother is back? I thought you were used to living in the city, so you couldn't bear to go back." Everyone laughed.

   "How can it be? We are fishermen, so we should live comfortably on the boat." Yang and the others hadn't seen each other for several days, and they greeted each family cheerfully.

  Seeing that Yu Jiang was also there, Huo Xi was stunned: "Uncle Yu, aren't you going back to your hometown to report safety?"

  Yu Jiang helped his family tie the boat, and replied with a smile, "I'll come back in a few days." There are so many linen on the boat, how can I go back.

  Go back and the cloth is scraped by the family, can the money still fall on him?

   "You want to sell the cloth before returning?" Huo Erhuai patted him on the shoulder, understanding.

  Yu Jiang smiled: "If I can get some money, I'll change to a bigger boat and take the three of them on board."

When Yang heard this, she nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, the whole family has to stay together, work together, save money slowly, and you will have it. Life will always be better." Just like her Home, didn't you live your life out?

  Mr. Yang and Huo Erhuai knew about the situation of the Yu family.

  The mother-in-law and the two young daughters stayed in the country and were tortured under the eyes of the stepmother. All the money they usually earned went to the family to make up for it.

  The mother and child at home are not doing well, so it is better to pick them up. Two adults, if you work **** the water, you can always get on with your life. The two children are with their parents, and they can live a relaxed life for a few days.

  Yu Jiang smiled and nodded.

  Yang Fu searched on tiptoe, but did not see the two boats of the Qian family.

   "Did Xiao Xia not return the money?"

   "I'm afraid I'm going to the city to sell goods." Someone replied.

   Mrs. Sun brought a lot of goods to Huai'an, and bought a lot of things from Huai'an and shipped them back. Everyone has seen it.

  Zou Sheng, grandson and grandson were also there, so Huo Erhuai asked them about their situation.

   "The cloth hasn't been sold yet. I went to the Hebo Office today to pay a job. I also want to sell cloth along the river, but I haven't sold a single one. Our family has never done business." Uncle Zou laughed.

  The whole family was clumsy and tongue-tied, and couldn't do business. After selling for a day, they returned to Taoyedu without selling a single piece of cloth. Thinking about learning from the Huo family.

  Huo Erhuai Yang looked at Huo Xi after listening.

  The two of them have never done business. Although they have opened a grocery store on the water, they can't sell so much linen and northern goods to fishermen.

  The husband and wife didn't know what Huo Xi's idea was, and how to sell these goods. They didn't dare to ask for a whole day, for fear of causing a psychological burden on the child.

  Huo Xi saw the three members of the Zou family looking at her with burning eyes, and a feeling of being needed and trusted spontaneously arose.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Grandma Zou, don't be in a hurry to sell the cloth. My family plans to concentrate on fishing these days. Our boats have been conscripted to go north to transport grain. People in the city may not have fish and shrimp to eat. The price of fish and shrimp should be good. These days, let’s work harder and catch some fish to sell, and the income will be very good.”

  When the old couple heard this, they slapped their thighs: "That's right, our fishermen's boats have been requisitioned. If no one fishes and sells them in the city, the price of fish will be good!"

   Oh, I was only thinking about selling goods, but I forgot about fishing.

   Sure enough, the Huo family has insight.

  When everyone at Taoyedu stopped the boat, they originally wanted to ask the Huo family for some experience in selling goods. This is not the reason.

  Everyone picked up the ropes to tie the boat again, planning to catch some fish during the night, and tomorrow morning just in time for the morning market.

   "Erhuai, do you have any tung oil? Give me a catty."

   "I want some tung oil too."

   "Is there any wine, get me some. It will help you sleep at night."

   "Yes, yes." Huo Erhuai and Yang Shi went into the cabin to prepare lighting equipment for night fishing for everyone, and then made some wine.

   Soon, Taoyedu's boats left one after another.

  Zou Sheng also thanked the Huo family, took two catties of tung oil, and rowed away with his grandma.

   In a blink of an eye, only the Huo family's boat was there.

  Huo Xi looked at the empty ferry, only her family's boat was there, and couldn't laugh or cry.

   "Brother-in-law, should we also catch at night? It's easy to catch at night."

   "Where do you catch them? Our water tank, both fishing baskets are full of fish. Are you going to sell dead fish tomorrow?" Huo Xi glared at him.

  Yang Fu scratched his head with a smile. When I looked at my boat, I thought it was quite big, but after a while, I realized it was too small.

   "Let's check the fish price tomorrow, and then come to night fishing. If there are too many, let mother make salted fish for storage, and we will sell salted fish in winter."

  Mr. Yang responded, "Okay. Anyway, we don't have any shortage of salt."

  The family spent the night in Taoye, pillowed on the water waves, smelling the fishy smell of the water, so they had a good sleep.

  Early the next morning, the family rowed the boat to the city.

  Cheng Mansion, Mu Yan practiced kung fu for an hour in the school yard early in the morning, took a bath, and left the mansion in a carriage.

   Said to go to Qionghua Lane.

   Thank you for your rewards, monthly votes, and all kinds of support, thank you, I will send it later
